With the increasing globalisation and modernisation, the recent interior architecture practices across the globe seem unified and present a huge departure from a sense of identity and belongingness of where it is at. The built landscapes that earlier reflected a rich craft culture are slowly transforming into standardized and homogenized boxes with very little cultural meaning attached to them. This is no different for a country rich with craft traditions like India, where the contemporary interior architectural landscape seems highly disconnected to its craft culture and surrounding context. The chapter focuses on two major discourses; the first one sets up a base with discussion on the notions of craft, space making craft, and contemporary interior design practices in India; and the second one focuses on the need of integrating crafts in interior design education through case studies of a variety of academic courses offered at Faculty of Design, CEPT University, India.

Abstract This chapter explores the diaspora of the Banat Swabian culture, their sense of identity in Germany, and their relation to 'Heimat tourism' through the perception of place in Timisoara in the region of the Banat, Romania. It enables understanding of the impacts of Heimat tourism and the implications for consumer behaviour in the visitor economy and also investigates place-making processes and the (re)creation of destination spaces through experience and narratives. This chapter aims to illustrate how cultural identity, tourist flow, and the perception of place contribute towards the making of heimat, to show how places that are both real and imagined at the same time reinforce a particular tourist gaze and examine how such tourist imaginaries create a 'Heimat tourism' that fosters a hermeneutic cycle perpetuating new meanings of self.

The challenge of transforming an empty space into a gallery setting takes on the concept of place making. A place can be seen as space that has meaning when the setting considers space, surroundings, contents, the people and its activities. This research concentrates on investigating how visitors perceive the space by gauging their sense of place (sense of belonging towards a place). Galleries are currently facing changes in this technological era whereby multiple content and context, space and form, display modes, tools and devices are introduced in one single space. An observational study was done during the Foundation Studies Annual Exhibition held at Faculty of Creative Multimedia, Multimedia University. The exhibition was curated and managed by staff and students of Foundation Year showcasing an array of design works. Analogue and digital presentations of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography and video works were displayed.. The outcome of this research will contribute towards a better design criteria of place making which affects individual behaviour, social values and attitudes. Characterizing types of visitor experience will improve the understanding of a better design criteria of place making, acceptance, understanding and satisfaction.
